For those times when the road peters out on a family ride, the Nuroad Rookie will just keep going. With tough, comfortable and grippy 45mm Schwalbe tyres fitted to a pair of ACID disc wheels as standard, it doesn't care whether you're rolling on tarmac or gravel – either way, it has the grip and the comfort to make every ride fun. Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes serve up ample stopping power whatever the weather gets up to, and Shimano Cues 1x9 gears have the range to take on any route. It's got adventure in its DNA, so you can feed their curiosity.
Frame
The Nuroad Rookie's frame is packed with attention to detail. We've crafted High Performance Aluminium into an elegant structure, using Smooth Welding and carefully chosen tube profiles. An integrated seat clamp and Semi-Internal Cable Routing complement the clean aesthetic, and we finished off with a full carbon fork which is both light and comfortable. There's also clearance for 50mm tyres – 45mm with mudguards fitted – and extra mounting points on the top tube for optional accessories like a frame bag or multi-tool, as well as all the usual attachment points for carrier and mudguards. Put it all together, and it's the ideal gravel frame for keen youngsters with adventure running through their veins.
